This 16th-century cross, located in the cemetery around the church, has been listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques since 30 October 1925. This magnificent cross is original in several respects. Its high four-sided pedestal at the bottom has a rounded section at the top, with a charming display for offerings. Some parts are decorated with six-pointed stars, fleurs-de-lis and six-petal flowers. The shaft is framed by an education of the Virgin Mary and features original sculpted decorations throughout. A capital supports the top cross, which is decorated with flowers and features a crucifixion. A plaque surmounted by a crucifixion was subsequently added to the pedestal. It bears this inscription: "Mission cross - 40-day indulgences - 1764".
